Core Ultra 5 226V vs Core i3-14100F specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-14100F is faster than the Core Ultra 5 226V. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core Ultra 5 226V in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core Ultra 5 226V has significantly more cores than the Core i3-14100F. Indeed, the Core Ultra 5 226V has 8 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i3-14100F. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-14100F has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core Ultra 5 226V. Also, the Core i3-14100F has a slightly higher turbo speed. The info from our database shows that the Core Ultra 5 226V has more L2 cache than the Core i3-14100F. Despite this, the Core i3-14100F has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Core Ultra 5 226V.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Core Ultra 5 226V has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
